Checking the species of a Pokémon chosen from the party

Hello,

I'm trying to make an event where the player is asked to choose a Pokemon. Depending on which one he chooses, the outcome of the event will be different.

I got this:

pbChoosePokemon(1,2,
proc {|poke|
 !poke.egg? &&
 !(poke.isShadow? rescue false)
})

pbSet(2,pbGetPokemon(1).species)

Conditional Branch: Variable [0001] <0
Text: Cancelled
Exit Event Processing
Branch End

Conditional Branch: Script: [COLOR=Red]pbGetPokemon(1).species=PBSpecies::PIKACHU[/COLOR]
Text: Blabla
Exit Event Processing
Branch End

I can't find the right way to get the red part working. Right now it doesn't return any error but it doesn't work (if I choose a Pikachu it doesn't do anything).

Hey there,

I've solved your problem.

What you're doing wrong is retrieving the pokemon in the game variable 1 which is redundant.

What you're supposed to do is specify the pokemon in the first block of code so you change it to this instead

pbChoosePokemon(1,2,
proc {|poke|
!poke.egg? &&
!(poke.isShadow? rescue false) &&
poke.species==PBSpecies::PIKACHU
})

Now it'll recognise that you specifically want a pikachu.

Hope this helped.

I thought about doing that, but it won't let me define more than 1 species.

I need to set up my event so that depending on the Pokemon you choose, the following lines may differ. So I need to retrieve the Pokemon in a variable and question it several times:

Conditional Branch: Script: pbGetPokemon(1).species=PBSpecies: PIKACHU
Text: Oh! You found a Pikachu! Take this!
Exit Event Processing
Branch End

Conditional Branch: Script: pbGetPokemon(1).species=PBSpecies: RATTATA
Text: A Rattata, how cute!
Exit Event Processing
Branch End

Conditional Branch: Script: pbGetPokemon(1).species=PBSpecies: CATERPIE
Text: I hate Caterpie!
Exit Event Processing
Branch End

Except the script I use isn't working.

Okay I found a way:

pbSet(2,pbGetPokemon(1).species)
Conditional Branch: Variable [0002: Temp Move Choice] = = 25
Text: Oh! You found a Pikachu! Take this!
Exit Event Processing
Branch End

".species" is storing the number of the Pokemon and not the species name... It makes sense.

Your original code looked fine. It's just that the bit in red needed to use == rather than =, because you're comparing two values to see if they're equal.

Or you could use isConst?(pbGetPokemon(1).species,PBSpecies,:PIKACHU).
